The Best Pizza Near Guarda Val, by the Record

Rank 1. Mamà
Neapolitan Pizza
Neapolitan pizza in the Swiss Alps sounds like a setup to a joke, but Mamà plays it straight and the combination works. It's a casual Italian pizzeria with a bar and terrace in the mountain town of Samedan, leaning on classic pies and Italian ingredients without trying to reinvent anything. The room draws both locals and skiers passing through the Engadine, which keeps the energy convivial rather than precious.

A pizzeria in the South Tyrolean Alps where the dough gets a long, slow ferment that leaves it almost impossibly light once it comes out of the oven. Toppings lean on local ingredients from the surrounding region, kept fresh and uncluttered. The room is comfortable without being stiff, the staff knows the menu cold, and the craft beer selection is chosen to work with the pizza rather than compete with it.
